Maintenance Videos (80)

It’s time to disassemble the 10 euro flea market lathe. Watch me screw up big time in this otherwise rather long and boring video. FYI: I stopped using G for my photos and started the RolingMetal photo album on Google photos. https://goo.gl/YHcyHh

I demonstrate how to use a hair dryer to clean around the lathe if you don't have compressed air handy. I upload a new wood turning tip every Tuesday and a wood turning tutorial video each and every Friday so Ya’ll come back, hear? Want to support my channel?

Had a problem with my lathe, human induced. I show how I fix it, then review the lathe and show off my shop. I MISS-SPEAK ABOUT THE LOW RPM, IT IS 56 NOT 6 AS I SAID, SORRY. Check out my grandson's site. squareup.com/store/aturnedworld

We finally have some good weather again, so I rolled some tools outside for a day of grinding, cutting and welding. I bought some square tube and I'm going to modify a cart to make it fit the 10 Euro wooden wood lathe.

I got a catch while turning a 12' poplar bowl on my HF wood lathe and the head broke completely off the bed. How does a humble wood butcher with limited funds make repairs?... DUCT TAPE of course!!!! Actually, the repair was quite simple, the clamping system for the rotating lathe head uses a small rolled pin in a high-stress location and the catch cause the pin to shear in half allowing the clamp to open up and the head departed the bed. I just replaced it with a 4mm stainless steel screw and reassembled the lathe. Gooder 'n new!

In this video I replace and upgrade some wood lathe parts to refresh and/or enhance my wood lathe. I currently use a PSI (Pen State Industries) wood lathe which I've had for many years and enjoy this lathe. Many of the topics in this video will relate to several types/brands of wood lathes. I hope you enjoy this video.

I show a few basic lathe maintenance tips. You can download demonstration handouts, downloadable copies of articles I have published, and other useful woodturning information available on my website http://mikepeacewoodturning.blogspot.com/p/woodturning-resources.html

The last time I used the old lathe I noticed that the spindle wasn't turning completely free. 2 months of no use later and the spindle seems to be frozen up. I looks like the iso46 hydraulic oil isn't doing its work properly. So tonight I disassemble the spindle once again, hoping to find out more.

Let’s face it; woodworking is more fun and satisfying when your tools are well-maintained and in good working condition when you go to use them. Many wood-shop tips suggest that one of the more important and yet commonly overlooked aspects of tool maintenance is to apply a tool lubricant to parts that maintain contact with your work piece as the tool is used. When it comes to choosing a good tool lubricant to use for this purpose there are many options to choose from. Some woodworkers use car wax as a tool lubricant, which is a proven product for protecting against moisture, and most woodworke

This is VFD Upgrade part 3. I mount the VFD and go over options. I discuss and show the wiring as well as the complications. I discuss wiring as well as display the wiring needed for a successful install. This is a very informative Tutorial for anyone that is using a lathe that speed is changed by changing belt/pulleys and giving you a much safer range of speeds. I hope you enjoy and please comment.

This is part 1 of 3 of a VFD Upgrade. on this video I go over expected pricing, I discuss other options that might suit you with a countershaft and go over VFD expectations and pulley speeds vs. torque. Part 2 will be basic wiring and instillation Part 3 will be external controllers and finalizing operations

In this video I replace the stock belt with a link belt. Power-Twist link belt can be found at Fenner Drives (http://www.fennerdrives.com/powertwist-plus/_/PowerTwist-Plus-3L/? ), Grizzly (http://www.grizzly.com/products/Power-Twist-V-Belt-3-8-x-2-m/T21991?utm_campaign zPage), and other places.

With so many variations on High Speed steel, understanding tool quality can be confusing. Sam has provided some simple detailed information on the Rockwell Hardness scale. Measuring the hardness in tool steel is information that helps woodworkers and woodturners decide which tool to purchase.

Harbor Freight Lathe 34706 fixes and upgrades I had recently been having some problems with my lathe so I thought I'd making a video showing how I fixed them in hopes it would help some people out. I use a Harbor Freight 34706 lathe and have had it for about 2 1/2 years. I show you how to change the belt, fix a problem with the tool rest, clean and wax the bed, and also do some work to the tool rest so your tool will slide easier. 3L240 belt - http://amzn.to/23fLnrA 4L240 belt - http://amzn.to/23fKj75 chuck on the lathe - http://amzn.to/2gVK0zM Paste wax - http://amzn.to/21q8Gh0 Sander - h

There is a new lathe in town. This video is not a wood turning video but one that goes into some detail on adding riser blocks to increase the capacity of a belt driven lathe, Also I show some common fixes to that could help out in your situation. I rebuild a Delta wood-lathe-46-221 to what I think is better than factory in some areas.

Figured I'd try a testrun between centers, without a chuck. Seems to work quite allright. Turned a little spinning top from a scrap of purperheart. Check out my facebook for some photo's of the restaurationprocess. https://www.facebook.com/C4-Woodworks-188259937880853

My new axle was finished this week. Got to installing and aligning today. This is the first testrun, only forgot to tighten the belt at the highest speed. https://www.facebook.com/C4-Woodworks-188259937880853

Slideshow of a series of photo's about the restauration of my old lathe. Part two will be added as soon as I have my new axle. All parts have been stripped of their paint, primed and refinished. All bare metal parts have been cleared of any paint and rust and have been either oiled for sliding parts or clearcoated for fixed parts. https://www.facebook.com/C4-Woodworks-188259937880853

For this latest installment of Tips and Techniques I tackle an ill running motor. The motor was making a buzzing sound and would not rotate the piece is was turning without assistance. By researching online, I tracked the problem down to the start capacitor, so I ordered one. 7 dollars later, my lathe is up and running!

Sorry for being away from YouTube for a while, but some of you might know, when there's some life over at the end of your money, you have to focus on more important things than woodworking, especially in the cold wintertime. A big thank you to all my subscribers who commented on my videos. This gives me the needed input for my inspirations.

I made this new countershaft in order to get a slower speed on my lathe as well as increase torque I also took this opportunity to give the lathe a fresh look. links to pulley speeds http://www.gizmology.net/pulleysbelts.htm http://gadi.agric.za/software/renting/pulley_calc.php

Ever once in a while you encounter the problem, that you can't tighten the banjo enough to keep it stable on your lathe bed. It's also hard to turn a nut on a bolt. You might not be able to fix this problem by lubricating the threads, because the reason for the problem lies in between the threads! You got some compressed sawdust. I show you my way to fix the problem and how to use a lubricant on bolts. For the ones who got a similar lathe or tool like mine, please feel free to ask any questions, regarding tool maintenance. I'll try to answer, either in a comment or in a new video. Music Funkorama by Kevin McLeod, http://www.incompetech.com Lizenz Creative Commons 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.de

Easy wood riser blocks and a few other adjustments allow you to turn a 16' bowl on a 12' lathe this project would cost under 20 dollars and doable in a couple of hours. This could possibly be the best lathe upgrade you can do but as always follow safety especially when you are modifying a piece of equipment from the way it was designed by the manufactures' specifications. The use of a reduction gear is a must before you can turn a large piece on this lathe as the smallest speed on it was too fast even for the largest it was capable of turning. Enjoy.

In this video I use some Naval Jelly to clean and restore the ways on my Jet 1642 Lathe. I am trying the product for the first time and I have heard great reviews. I was expecting a crystal clear shinny finish rust free, what I ended up with was a dull streaked rust free surface. I guess it did the job but I may need to try this again for a super clean finish.
